they look really sharp. Nice kit! it's hard to tell from your pictures, but you can see the wood grain in the toms, but the kick looks like a solid matt black. Do they match in person?

I use the same Gibraltar pedal as my backup to my Pearl Eliminators. It's highly underrated for such an inexpensive double pedal. I often find myself liking it better than almost any other pedal I've played, including my Pearls.

you can see the wood grain in the bass, but it is a little difficult to see, maybe just not many grains on the outside ply?

Yeah these gibraltar pedals are definitely smooth! i've always been keen of gibraltar's equipment especially since its such high quality, but such low cost in comparison to the DW lines!
